Preventive security and risk management for residential communities.
Wired and wireless cameras, plus software that assesses what’s real, keeps routine activity away from your people, and documents what was done.
Applications open for Bay Area communities · no long-term commitment.
Security today is reactive and noisy.
Traditional alarms cry wolf. Cameras record footage nobody watches. Officers drive out to nothing while real moments slip by — and communities are left managing the fallout.
False alarms everywhere
Up to 98% of activations are false — tying up patrol time and attention on incidents that never happened.
Footage nobody watches
Cameras everywhere, but when something happens it takes hours of scrubbing to find the clip — if it’s found at all.
Always one step behind
Help arrives after the fact — and when residents ask what was being done, there’s rarely a clear answer on paper.
Detect. Assess. Hand off.
Evidence-rich assessments — calm when it’s nothing, fast when it’s real.
Detect
Wired and wireless cameras watch every threshold of the community, around the clock.
Assess
Toran assesses each event and filters out the routine — producing an Event Assessment with the clip and context, so a swaying branch is far less likely to become a 2 a.m. call.
Runs on ToranHand off
Each Event Assessment is handed to our UL-listed central station partner, who performs the verification of record and coordinates escalation and dispatch.
More than cameras: risk management for the community.
Cameras record. Toran does the part that comes after: it assesses what matters, keeps the noise away from your people, and holds a continuous record of what the community knew and what was done about it. When something happens, the question is rarely “was there a camera?” — it’s “what did you know, and what did you do?”
Less noise reaching people
Routine activity is filtered before anyone is contacted — so attention, patrols and after-hours calls go to the events that actually warrant them.
Every event documented
Each assessment is kept with its clip, context and timestamp — a continuous record of what the system saw and how it was handled.
Findings on the record
Issues are raised with a priority and stay open until they’re addressed, so there’s a written trail of what was flagged and when.
Written for the board
A weekly summary in plain language — what happened, what changed, and what still needs a decision at the next meeting.
Evidence when it’s needed
Export timestamped clips and event history for police, insurers or your own counsel — on your terms, when you choose.
Where this leads — fewer unnecessary call-outs, less time spent chasing nothing, a community that can show its work — depends on the community, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Toran documents; it doesn’t advise. We’re not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice, but a clear, timestamped record is something a board, a manager and their counsel can all work from.
Meet Toran.
Think of it as an operating system for your community’s security — cameras, events, evidence and reporting in one place. Toran watches the feeds so no one has to, flags what looks real, and turns footage into evidence-rich Event Assessments. It runs in the browser — no software to install.
Assessment, not noise
Computer vision plus reasoning flags likely-real events and sets the routine ones aside.
Ask anything
“What happened last night?” Toran answers in plain language, with the clips attached.
Board-ready reporting
A weekly summary of what happened across your community — written for a board meeting, not a technician.

Built to stay on.
No two communities are wired the same. We design each site as a mix: wired cameras where power and network already reach, and wireless units running on solar and battery with their own cellular link for gates, perimeters and places cable can’t go. Cut the power, drop the WiFi, or take out a few cameras — the rest of the network keeps watching.
- Wired cameras where power and network reach
- Solar + cellular units for gates and perimeter
- Tamper-resilient by design
- Overlapping camera coverage
Hours of footage → minutes.
When something does happen, search by time, zone or event type — and export timestamped, evidence-rich clips for police or insurers.
Package theft
Find the clip quickly.
Car break-in
Every camera at that moment.
Vandalism
Trace the path across the property.
Evidence export
An evidence package, ready to share.
Protection, not surveillance.
Toran is privacy-first by design. Your footage is yours — it isn’t pooled into a law-enforcement network. You decide what’s shared, and with whom.
- Constant false alarms & alert fatigue
- No record of what was flagged or acted on
- Depends on grid power & WiFi
- Footage shared into outside databases
- AI-assessed — noise filtered before it reaches you
- Ask Toran — answers in minutes, on the record
- Wired + wireless mix, tamper-resilient
- Community-controlled & privacy-first
Built for every kind of community.
One AI-assessment layer — tuned to how your community actually lives. From a single decision-maker to a portfolio of properties.
HOAs & gated communities
Cover entrances, perimeter and common areas. Assessed alerts replace guesswork — and a documented record replaces “we thought someone was handling it”.
Condos & townhomes
Protect shared lobbies, garages, mailrooms and amenities — with privacy that residents trust.
Apartment communities
Keep watch over package areas, entries and shared spaces across buildings, around the clock.
Property management companies
Standardize AI-assessed coverage across your whole portfolio, with one dashboard and per-community reporting.
Your data. Your control.
Toran is privacy-first by design. We protect communities without turning them into a surveillance network — the footage belongs to you, not to a database somewhere else.
Encrypted, end to end
Video is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is role-based and logged — only the people you authorize can see it.
No outside database
Your footage isn’t pooled into a law-enforcement or third-party network. What leaves your community leaves only because you sent it.
You control sharing
Export an evidence clip for police or insurers when you choose. Nothing is shared automatically.
Retention on your terms
Set how long footage is kept. We retain only what your community decides to retain — no more.
A toran is the archway hung over a home’s entrance — an ancient symbol that the threshold is watched over, and that the people within are safe and welcome. We built Toran to keep that promise for whole communities: cameras at every threshold, and Toran, a system that assesses what’s real and filters out the noise.
Calm when it’s nothing. Fast when it’s real.
I run the pilots personally — if you apply, you’ll be talking to me, not a sales team.
We’re at the start — and that’s the point.
Toran is an early-stage company. We’re accepting applications from a small number of Bay Area communities to join our first pilots — design partners who want to shape the product and get AI-assessed monitoring early.
